Later in the month I submit a GS. I'm offered a GS. Does this reduce how much I am paid for the GS? If it does reduce the pay, how?
Enquiring minds and all that.
What it means is if you call in sick in the beginning of the month that time you would have flown counts in any FAR 117 duty limits calculations even though you didn't' fly it! So you sick out 1-4 of the month. If you try to GS later that week the computer will calculate the FAR 117 limits like you flew that trip. So if you could have flown that trip with the other one you'll get the GS. If that sick trip would have been a conflict if you flew it then nope, no greenie. But.... if you call in well and fly during the footprint of your sick trip then the previous restriction doesn't apply. Same language in the WS section too.
This is obviously meant to punish sick users.
